WHY THE PACERS COULD DO THIS:
Turkoglu gives the Pacers a versatile 6'10" four-position player (pg-pf) he is a career 38.8% career 3pt threat (last year slightly over 40%) and he has great ball handling skills. His versatility fits into TPTB's new paradigm. Plus we desperately need a pure shooter... hopefully sarunas will come around and be a steve kerr type player off the bench for us. but meanwhile, we need an outside shooting threat better than SJax.

WHY THE MAGIC COULD DO THIS:
Jackson gives the Magic the SG/SF they need if Grant Hill can't come back from injury. He'd be their #3 option behind Howard and Nelson (w/o Hill in the picture), a role he would probably excell in. They just signed Keith Bogans but he doesn't have a jump shot... without Hill, Jackson and Bogans could compliment each other.

SIDE NOTE... I really wanted to include Tinsley and Carlos Arroyo on this deal but I doubt Orlando would consider it. They get more of a scorer and playmaker but with Nelson there and Tinsley's contract...no chance.
